General Notes | Loves kids, Loves Dogs, Loves to play and is soooo sweet!! Come meet Aspen! Want to adopt this dog? Please do not email us. Please fill out the Adoption Application ASAP. Health Notes | Healthy Other Dogs | She loves other dogs!! She is in a home with 2 dogs and loves to play!! Her foster mom feels she would do best in a home with another dog to help get her energy out. Cats - Aspen is very curious about our cat! She wants to sniff her, get close to her, and of course she wants to play with her! However, our cat is not thrilled with the idea! Children | Aspen loves kids, and wants to play with them.She snuggles in with my boys, and jumps on their beds at night time! She is learning to play ball with them and loves just being apart of whatever they are doing. Since Aspen is learning social skills, I would say she would be happiest with at least elementary school age kids and up. She will teach the kids to put things away, as she likes to grab shoes and stuffed animals and hide them in the backyard!! Training | She is house trained and is learning social skills. She has learned to use the doggie door and has had zero issues! She is learning to sit for a treat, and also feeding time. Leash | Activity Level | Aspen loves to play, and is eager to please everyone. I honestly think she needs to be in a home with another dog her size. She and our lab Calvin play non stop. She will love to be out on hikes, and camp, and is full of energy. If home alone all day, she will get into mischief. Personality | Aspen is a sweet, sweet, loving girl. She fits in with us perfectly. She aims to please. She wants a lot of love, snuggles, and to be apart of the family. She loves to play and play! The best part is watching her in the morning. She goes into the backyard and waits for the squirrels to come out, and tease them. She sits, frozen and waits and waits! Then it's game on and a mad dash around the yard, to see the squirrels laughing at her and Calvin. The best part of Aspen and the first time I have ever seen this, was she was playing chase Calvin and jumped up onto our trampoline, ran around the outside of it, went into the trampoline, bounced, jumped out and ran around the outside of it. Then jumped off like nothing! She is a smart, smart, girl ready to tackle the world! Story | I do not have any history on Aspen. All I know, is she was in a shelter in Texas before arriving to Colorado. She appears to have had a litter. Aspen was extremely skinny ( skin and bones) when she arrived here and we have been feeding her 3 times a day. She is doing great with feeding, and drinking water. Lots of water! Thank you! | Adoption Donations | Our adoption donations are $425 for dogs 8 weeks to 1 year, $375 for 1-6 years, $325 for dogs 7-10 years, and $175 for 11+ years of age. Purebred dogs regardless of age are $475. These minimum donations help to defer the costs of initial vet care, food, and supplies while in foster care that currently average over $700 per dog). Meeting Dogs | Foster dogs may have meet & greets by appointment to approved applicants only. To become an approved applicant - please complete the application process. Please know | Available dogs are updated as soon as possible and we do our best to keep it up-to-date, but occasionally dogs shown may become unavailable without notice due to a pending adoption. We encourage you to put in an application even if you don't see your new family member currently, as once you are approved, we can place you on the waiting list for first priority on the selection of the dogs we do bring in. That means you can often meet a dog upon transport arrival and adopt before they even make it to this page! We can not guarantee that a dog you wish to adopt is available by the time your adoption application is submitted, processed, and approved. Your application is good for 90 days from the time of approval for any dog as long as it is a good fit for your family and your lifestyle
